About the author
Hergé
1,096 books1,996 followersGeorges Prosper Remi (22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), better known by the pen name Hergé, was a Belgian comics writer and artist.
His best known and most substantial work is The Adventures of Tintin comic book series, which he wrote and illustrated from 1929 until his death in 1983, leaving the twenty-fourth Tintin adventure Tintin and Alph-Art unfinished. His work remains a strong influence on comics, particularly in Europe.
"Hergé" is the pseudonym of George Remí, making a game with the initials of his name inverted. Throughout the evolution of his star character, Tintin, we can see the progress of this author: from the first titles marked by the ultraconservative doctrine of the director of the newspaper Le Petit Vingtième, to the breaking of conventions embodied from The Blue Lotus , as well as the evolution of the society of his time. The research carried out by Hergé to historically contextualize his Adventures, as well as his implicit social criticism, have made Tintin a masterpiece of the 20th century.

Chronologically last three Herge books - including the unfinished manuscript of “Tintin and the Alph-Art”
Simply put, unparalleled. Flight 714 and Picaros both are top-tier Tintin adventures for me

Tintin and Alph-Art seemed like such a promising addition to the Tintin universe. It is a shame that it was left unfinished, due to Hergé’s passing. But it is wonderful to see his script and drafts.

The first story (Flight 714 to sydney) started out strong, but the ending was really disappointing. The second one was good. The third one looked really interesting, it's kind of sad we would never how it was supposed to end by Herge. Oh well.
